Scenario & Alternatives

Hello

1- In ‘WaterGEMS Help document’ (Under Base and Child Scenarios ) there is a blue note: ‘The calculation options are not inherited between scenarios’. But when one of Calculation Options in a base scenario is changed, it’s changes inherits from that Scenario to related Child Scenarios. How can explain this incoherence? 2- What is difference between ‘Scenario’ And ‘Children...’ in ‘Scenario Manager’ ----> ‘Compute Scenario’?

    What is the name of help document that you are looking at which states, "the calculation options are not inherited between scenarios." ? It would also help to know what version of the software you're using because that might help explain what you're seeing too. The version number can be found by going to HELP > About WaterGEMS inside your program and locating the number in the lower left hand corner and may be in brackets. It should start like this 08.11.XX.XX where X are some numbers.

  • Hello Sim,

    Adding some clarification on the calculation options of base and child scenarios :

    When any child scenario is created it inherits the data from the base scenario, so the calculation options are also inherited from that.

    So any changes made to that calculation option, would be applicable to both base & child scenario. You can assign different calculation option to the child scenario if required.

    Also when any new base scenario is created, it simply inherits the calculation option of the first base scenario existing in the file, which you can change later.

    We will update the help documentation accordingly.

  • Hello

    I use WaterGEMS V8i SelectSeries4. I tried to attached photo of the page but could not. You can find that note it here: Help\Contents\Scenarios and alternatives\scenarios\Base and Child Scenarios\ note: the calculation options are not inherited between scenarios but are duplicated when the scenario is first created....

    By the way, I asked TWO questions. :)

  • Hello Simbaa,

    Thanks for confirming the help topic. As Mark mentioned, the blue note that you see was left over from an older version of the program (version 7) which was quite different from V8i. It does not apply to the current version and will be removed in a future released. Calculation options are inherited like alternatives. Apologies for the confusion.

    Regarding the second question - Sushma provided a link on April 14th with some good general information on scenarios and alternatives. It sounds like you may be asking specifically about the "Scenario" option vs. "Children", in the Compute dropdown?

    The "Scenario" option will compute the currently selected scenario only, whereas the "Children" option will compute all scenarios that are direct children of the currently selected scenario. I've documented this with a little more detail in the below Support Solution:
